Finding Fulfillment Beyond Motherhood with Jill Sutton

Jill is a wife, a mother of two beautiful girls, and currently pregnant with baby number three. She is a Disney addict and a lover of Jesus. As a multi-passionate mama, who is equally devoted to both her career and family, her mission is to create space for motivated Mamas, who are rediscovering themselves after starting a family. She provides tools and support for those who are seeking something new for themselves, quite possibly for the first time in a long time. Jill’s goal is to empower Mamas to live their legacy, filled with intention and purpose, without sacrificing their values.

Takeaways

  • Starting a podcast and blog can be a way to share your passions and help others.

  • Motherhood can be challenging, and it's important for moms to prioritize self-care and find fulfillment outside of being a mom.

  • Traditional healthcare can have limitations, and private practices can provide more personalized and effective care.

  • Building a community and collaborating with others in your field can help reach more people and make a bigger impact.

  • Finding fulfillment and taking care of yourself is essential in order to be the best version of yourself for your family and other responsibilities. Motherhood is a journey without a clear timeline, requiring mothers to let go of the pressure to achieve perfection.

  • Self-reflection and therapy can help mothers navigate the challenges of parenting and identify patterns that need to be addressed.

  • Community support and open conversations about the realities of motherhood are essential for providing guidance and reassurance to new mothers.

  • Childcare, whether in the form of daycare or in-home care, can provide mothers with the peace of mind and freedom to pursue personal growth and fulfillment.
